War

Formed in 1969, War were one of the first fusion bands to hit the mainstream in America, combining Soul, Funk, Rhythm and Blues, and even Latin to produce songs such as Low Rider, Spill the Wine and Summer. Over the last five decades there have been significant changes to the band’s line up with Lonnie Jordan the only surviving member. However, the songs and soul of the band remain and they continue to tour today.
Whilst their songs have stood the test of time well, some of the members haven’t faired quite as well. However, you would never be able to tell. The energy of the band’s more recent performances is relentless from start to finish and their love playing live can still be seen. In terms of a show, the only way to describe it would be a party. The band seems to be having just as much fun as the fans they perform for as their set is made up of all their hits. They don’t rest on their laurels however, the crowd regularly being treated to breakdowns, solos and improvisation from the masters of the trade.
After years of touring, War have nothing to prove and this evident during their shows. Pure fun and energy from start to finish makes them still one incredible live experience.

The day was Friday, September 26, 2015 at the Pomona Fairplex and although the weather was hot and muggy fans from all over came to enjoy an awesome, some would say "bad ass" concert.

When WAR comes to Pomona they never disappoint the fans. The many loyal fans of all ages enjoyed a wonderful concert.

WAR played fan favorites, such as: Spill the Wine, So, Why Can't We Be Friends, Lowrider, Me and My Baby Brother, and Galaxy to mention a few.

I can definitely say, the whole crowd enjoyed the WAR concert, so much that everyone in the crowd kept whistling and screaming letting "WAR" know that we "LOVED" their concert and are "Die-Hard Fans" which encouraged them to come back on stage and play one final song for us fans which made the night spectacular and memorable for all of us.

WAR was a great show. All the oldies with lots of audience interaction. Venue was very small so it made it a lot more fun. I would definitely recommend seeing WAR if you enjoy their music, you will not be disappointed!!

Awesome- @ the Greek theatre, 2018. Unbelievable performance. I've been attending War concerts since the70s /the 80s & they are still are just as amazing.

You just don't want them to end!!!

are you kidding me? don’t you know the concert date was changed for may?
